Leadership Theories Micro Course

This 15-minute microlearning course introduces the fundamentals of leadership and explores key leadership theories that influence how effective leaders think and behave. Learn what leadership really means, the traits and behaviours of successful leaders, and how different leadership approaches can be applied in the workplace. Ideal for supervisors, new managers, or experienced leaders looking to refresh their understanding without the commitment of a full course.

What does the Leadership Theories Micro Course Cover?

A leader doesn’t necessarily have to be a ‘manager’, but it’s difficult to see how a manager could be truly effective without having at least some leadership skills.

This course starts by introducing the basics of leadership and explores where the concept originated from. It then goes on to discuss various leadership theories.

By the end of this course, you will :

• Understand what the term Leadership means
• Be aware of the traits and behaviours of a good leader
• Understand the best way to be an effective leader

Target Audience

This course is aimed at supervisors and managers that want to develop more effective relationships with members of their teams. The course can be a great starting point for people new to their leadership role as well as more established managers that want to enhance their skills.
